Abstract
<jats:p>The article presents the development and industrial implementation of a new hydrate for-mation inhibitor based on domestic petrochemical products as an alternative to methanol. The in-hibitor was created on the basis of extensive theoretical and experimental research and introduced into the gas preparation system for the first time. The introduction of the new reagent ensured effec-tive prevention of hydrate formation during gas production, treatment, and transportation. The de-veloped inhibitor demonstrated high efficiency in field gas processing and provided stable opera-tion of gas treatment facilities under various thermodynamic conditions. Industrial application of the proposed inhibitor at major oil and gas production facilities of the republic confirmed its tech-nological reliability, economic efficiency, and environmental safety. The results show that replac-ing traditional methanol with the newly developed reagent contributes to improved gas processing quality, prevention of technological complications, and reduction of operating costs.</jats:p>
